The struggle for the ideals embodied by the U.N. declaration gois on today. Courageous and highly principled individuals in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe serve as a constant reminder of the significance and the need for this and other declarations such as the Helsinki Final Act. It is a reminder to which we. as Americans. have always responded. because of our heritage as a nation of many immigrant peoples. and our own great struggle against tyranny and oppression. Twentyeight years ago. a very wise man. who was also a refugee from persecution. said that. "a large part of history is replete with the struggle for human rights. and eternal struggle in which a final victory can never be won. But to tire in that struggle would mean the ruin of society." The man was Albert Einstein. This anniversary of the U.N.
